Guided Response!!!!

I am currently reading the book Push by Sapphire. This book is really forward and straight to the point. This book tells is like it is and the way it happened. I feel that the author should be worthy of praise because she is going through a lot from what I have read. I havent even gotten through the whole book yet and she is already going through a lot. It seems to me like she has nobody on her side she is a ll alone. Nobody seems like they really care about her and at this point in the book it seem like its getting harder and harder to read. All of the abuse that her mother is putting her through. And her father…. I really have no comment about him because to me he’s just another male that doesn’t need to be a father. I don’t know how a father could do that to his daughter. I don’t understand how a father could look at their child in any kind of sexual way.  The main character of the book Claireece Precious Jones, is already a mother to 2 kids and the babies father is her dad. One of her kids has down syndrome. I don’t know how she could handle all of that and worry about her mother treating her like she’s nothing. That’s why I think that the main character which is Precious, is worthy of praise because she is already going through a lot and im not even through half od the book.

  1. You're a braver reader than me, Ashley. I just can't handle reading about child abuse...children are powerless. It makes me so angry that I can't read on.
